Wizard Grinder Bearing going
Pretty sure a bearing is going in my grinder. It's out of warranty and I'm going to get another (it's about 8 years old) but was wondering if anyone has ever attempted to refurbish the motor themselves?
Re: Wizard Grinder Bearing going
Pretty sure Inland will sell you another motor or you might be able order one from Grainger. The motor brand is Fasco made by Fasco Industries, Motor Division. Motor number is 7121-7924Jeanne wrote:Pretty sure a bearing is going in my grinder.

I bought a new motor from Glastar for my Superstar; my husband replaced it; works great!

Hi Jeanne-
I would shop around for the motor. Depending on the grinder, the motor may cost more than buying a new one (especially if you go to Grainger.)
Not sure of which grinder you had, but I saw this on the Central Jersey CL a couple of days ago. Can't tell the model in the photo, but you never know...

I didn't mean that. I just meant to give an example of a replacement motor working well (and it was pretty easy to install, also). I expect replacing an Inland motor would be comparable.AndyT wrote:The motors of Glastar and Inland are not universal.Lynn g wrote:I bought a new motor from Glastar for my Superstar; my husband replaced it; works great!

At what? There were only two listing for stained glass stuff and neither showed a pic of a grinder.Brock wrote:Yahaftalook . . .
Re: Wizard Grinder Bearing going
The grinder is mentioned in the description. It is on the shelf in the background of the second pic.
